AMG Review:
From the production duo of Scott Billington and Steve Reynolds comes
Tangle Eye, a roots remixing team who takes a valiant stab at
remixing the barest and simplest of roots recordings. On Alan Lomax's
Southern Journey Remixed, they dig into the Alan Lomax archives
(specifically from the Southern Journey era of his work, roughly 1940
to 1960), doing, to some degree, what's already been done by the
likes of Moby, but with a slightly different angle of attack. Where
Moby made use of the Lomax gems as a centerpiece for one of his own
creations within a certain range of fitting aesthetics, the Tangle
Eye team attempts to remix the various (almost strictly) vocal works
into the full spectrum of genres, seemingly more for the sake of
remixing itself rather than for the purpose of crafting a song in its
own right. The focus seems to be more in the creation than in the
product. That said, the results are stunning. The album starts out in
something of a chillout mode, turning some of the prison song
repertoire into light jazz, and adding instrumentation to a piece of
blues now made ready for a smoky night club. More chillout follows
from another prison recording and a farm singer. Back in the prison
recordings, "Holler" becomes a southern house beat ß la Moby proper,
and an old Bright Light Quartet number is made into a bit of
rocksteady dub, of all things. To finish out the album, the
well-known rendition of "Rosie" by Eighty Eight's axe gang is made
into a rock-riff-heavy romp, and a quiet gospel number from the
Peerless Four is fleshed out into a full-fledged tour de force on the
organ with a dancefloor beat and a strong call and response style.
This certainly isn't your traditional version of the Southern Journey
classics, but it's certainly worth hearing for those interested in
the meeting grounds of the old and the new. Cultures are mixed in a
somewhat haphazard way, but the end product is always a well-crafted
work. ù Adam Greenberg

From now on, we rip everything in VBR, using --alt-preset standard.
h e l p f u f f e n s
We are looking for quality sites in Europe and US, to be afilliated
on. Remember, we are not in it for the creds, but for the spreading
of quality music - we just want to get our releases out to the ppl
that wants/needs it. More pre sites fills this purpose.
